A super TEXAS SHEET CAKE, thin and fluffy white cake that is so easy to make. It’s great for gatherings or parties as it can feed a crowd (up to 22 servings). With its sweet creamy frosting and light vanilla/almond flavors, it’ll get you hooked in no time.
This Sheet cake is so addictive and has everyone begging for seconds. The vanilla and almond extracts we put in both the batter and the frosting add a depth of flavor that the cake won’t taste the same without
As I mentioned before it’s so easy to make or in another way it’s a piece of cake! No complex steps or decorative skills nor special equipments are needed.
On a final note: My sincere apologies go to those who are watching their waistline. This cake is SO irresistible that you’ll keep asking for more.
